[Chorus:]

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place surely the presence of the Lord is in this place surely you won't forsake the ones who seek your face surely the presence of the Lord is in this place

[Verse:]

In his presence is fullness of joy and laughter he rejoices over us with singing we are changed as we welcome the heart of the Master and the heavenlies are ringing out with praise in one accord praise praise to the Lord oh oh oh

It's been too long

Since last time I saw your face

You've been keeping it tight and everything

Appears to be in its proper place

We laugh about back in '94

Reminiscing I hoping for a little old time sake

On a snow crystal morning

Some place close to heaven

On the side of a mountain

In a race for the sun

In a matter of moments

Well God told Noah to build an ark he said it's gonna rain gonna be dark

Call in the animals two by two and don't let a sinful man go through

So the flood came just like he said and every evil thing on earth was dead

But Noah's faith was like a rock God laid his ark on a mountain top

 

He'll be a friend and guide you he'll walk along with you

 

And I know that I can find You here

'Cause You promised me You'll always be there

Times like these, it's hard to see

But somehow I have a peace, You're near

And I pray that You will use my life

The cold north wind they call "La Bise"

Is swirling round about my knees,

Trees are crying leaves into the river;

 

I'm huddled in this french cafe

I never thought I'd see the day,
